Signing the Adobe AIR Application<\/strong><\/p>\n
These instructions use the Adobe AIR SDK to sign the AIR application.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Firstly, check that the \/bin\/ directory of the Adobe AIR SDK is in your PATH environment variable.<\/li>\n
- Copy the exported certificate (.p12 or .pfx file) to a location outside<\/em> of the ‘source’ directory of your application. [Example here<\/a>]<\/li>\n
- Open a DOS prompt, and navigate to the source directory of your application (where the ‘application.xml’ file is stored).<\/li>\n
- Run the following command, substituting filenames and paths where required:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
adt -package -storetype pkcs12 -keystore [location of certificate file] [location of .air file] application.xml .<\/p>\n
Example command: here<\/a>.
\nYou will be prompted for a password – enter the password set when you exported the certificate as above.
\nYour application will now be signed.<\/p>\n![\"CodeSign](\"http:\/\/www.pkipartner.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/CodeSign-Adobe-Air-300x234.gif\")
